This lustrous and gemmy Elbaite Crystals from the famed Cruzeiro Mine in Brazil exhibits a subtle, multi toned pink color with stunning luster. This incredibly lustrous, lightly striated Elbaite Crystals have sharp prism faces and a near-perfect termination. This piece is tremendous for the quality, aesthetics and perfection! Three crystals grown together so beautifully. The two small ones are reattached with the main crystal but clipped fixed and the termination is absolutely perfect and there are no cracks and no repairs at all. Its one of the most aesthetic piece came out of this locality when it comes to quality, aesthetics, colour and perfection! When I think of intensive pink color I have this very special Elbaite specimen of tourmaline in my mind! The stunning cluster strikes with absolutely impressive pink color that is uniform throughout the whole cluster! And make no mistake, the color in the video is quite realistic! This rather thick and solid piece is translucent to even transparent with great luster on all sides and a flat, frosted termination. It has no repair or restoration. It was found in Brazil, where this colour is known but exceedingly rare when it comes to such luster and perfection!
